The following description comes from the event organizer.

“Many Bothans died to bring us this information…” This solemn sentence from Rebel leader Mon Mothma near the end of STAR WARS EPISODE VI: RETURN OF THE JEDI (1983) is finally demystified in "Many Bothans Died: a one-act space comedy!" Come celebrate this pop-culture holiday May-the-Fourth 2024 the right way: Seeing a show for the Nerds, by the Nerds.

This radio-play follows five Bothan bounty hunters tasked with finding the Death Star 2 plans. Likeable but not exactly “good,” they face obstacles and enemies, allies and traitors, Sarlacc pits and unnamed dangers during their quest to get paid to…err, to do the right thing. There’s love, death, fighting, bribery, puppets, tin-foil weaponry, featuring a live band and plenty of improvised space hijinks. Many Bothans Died will, if nothing else, satisfy your curiosity and make you shout, “Han shot first!” May the Farce be with you. Always.
